Kickstand leaning thread

Do they makea kickstand that will cause a bike to lean at a more extreme angle? I don't mean just a shorter shaft for lowered bikes. I'm talking lay that bikemore over on its side but yet keeping it securely off the painted parts? Years ago I saw a custom bike at Laconiathat was leaning more over on its kickstand than was even near normal and it looked awesome.

Thanks

I put 4" over stock forks on my Dyna and that made the bike lean a lot more on the kickstand. Also gave me more ground clearance over speed bumps.

You can get a lower kickstand from JP Cycles to make it lean more , my was lowered 1.5"on the back and my bike stand straight up, it doesn't matter which kickstand I put on .

I would be concerned about having the bike leaning at more of an angle - that would put more stress on the stand and pose a bigger risk of sinking into asphalt, etc. Probably not a good way to keep the shiny parts shiny IMHO.

Here is a picture of how much my bike leans from putting on 4" extended forks.

RE: Kickstand leaning thread

Thanks guys..I just got my wide glide front end on today, and am going to lower the bike next. I am then going to just put on an Arlen Ness frame mounted kickstand.
